Olympus TG-320 vs Panasonic ZS35 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through specifications. The visual here should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-320 and ZS35.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic ZS35 to give you more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
